Around the World in 80 Days review

I recently read Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne.

Phileas Fogg is a very strange man.He seems to be very reserved man.The only club he belongs to the Gentleman Reform Club.One day,at one of their meetings,his fellow clubers made a large bet.They bet that he could travel around the world in eighty days.

So,he and his servant took off.Their first stop was in India,where they rode an elephant,witness a strange tribal ritual,and even save a young girl from being burned for a sacrifice..The from there,she joined them on their journey. Then from there,they rode on different types of transportation and went to different places,such as Hong Kong and San Francisco.And in the meantime,Mr.Fix,a detective is following their every move because he think Mr.Fogg robbed a bank.There were many times when they thought they were going to loose.For example,a herd of buffalos blocking a train tracks.But when they came back to London,they were a day late.But Phileas and the indian girl got married .That is when they discovered they were a day ahead!They won the bet!

I was really looking forward to reading this book.But,frankly,this book lacked adventure.I did,however,enjoy learning about different parts of the world.
